Framing Carpenter Job Description
A framing carpenter is a skilled carpenter who constructs wood members within a building’s supporting framework.
Framing carpenters both support the building’s structural elements, which transfers the building loads to the foundations, and work inside the walls themselves.
The framing carpenter may also perform specialized tasks such as trim carpentry, finish carpentry, and cabinetry work.
Framing carpenters are typically employed by general building contractors.
Due to the high risk of working on construction sites, framing carpenters typically undergo training and pass an exam prior to being hired.
